Design of distribution transformers – e-lesson #13: Amorphous Transformers

This is the thirteenth e-lesson in the Design of distribution transformers course, conducted on the Master's level. Here you can save your seat.

In this lesson, we will explore the topic of amorphous transformers - a newer transformer technology that utilizes amorphous alloy cores instead of the more common grain-oriented silicon steel. Amorphous transformers offer significant advantages in terms of reduced core losses and improved energy efficiency, but also come with their own set of design considerations and cost implications. By understanding the properties and manufacturing process of amorphous cores, as well as how they compare to conventional transformer designs, we can gain insights into the evolving landscape of transformer technology and its role in meeting future energy demands.
